Tripexpert
About Client
Tripexpert was conceived as a better, smarter alternative to user-review travel sites. We feature professional hotel, restaurant and attraction reviews from trusted sources — succinct information that helps you make decisions on where to stay, dine and go with confidence.
Objective
Tripexpert previously was build on Ruby on Rails, and the objective was to rebuild it as a separate Frontend and Backend. The site is built on Nuxt, Vue and Tailwind from professionally crated designs in Figma.
About the project
One of the downsides to TripAdvisor and other crowdsourced review sites is that everyone can leave reviews. We've all heard about people who threaten to leave bad reviews or complain their shower couldn't fit multiple people. Throw in businesses who buy favorable reviews and it's no wonder hardly anyone I know trusts TripAdvisor reviews.
One site that is aiming to change that is TripExpert. This site aggregates reviews from dozens of guidebooks, magazines, and other trusted travel media to give the hotel property a score based off the average. Of course, it works on the assumption that travel experts are better judges of quality, but I think this site has a lot of potential.
The site is relatively small right now, but if it grows and catches on, it would be a better alternative to TripAdvisor.
